Is It Time For Shot Clocks On The PGA Tour?

The big story in pro golf this month is the emergence of TGL, a simulator league that has garnered positive reviews and encouraging ratings after the first two matches.

One of the reasons the response is so positive? The fast pace.

TGL has the ability to move at an incredible speed as we watch PGA Tour players completing holes in a matter of four or five minutes. While the broadcast takes two hours, the golf itself only needs roughly half of that TV window.

Aside from the obvious fact that it is hybrid simulator golf (short-game shots take place on an actual green complex), the most critical factor for the quick pace of play is a 40-second shot clock.

Players have to pick a strategy, step up to the tee and hit before the buzzer goes off. If they don’t, it’s a penalty.

So far in TGL, players have been lightning-fast to the point where the clock rarely gets under 15 seconds.

This is a complete 180 from typical Tour golf. Yes, that golf is played on an actual course that requires walking and far more effort from a golf perspective—but the average threesome on Tour needs about four hours and 45 minutes to complete 18 holes.

The pace is glacial, which doesn’t help a lackadaisical TV product. Hell, it doesn’t help watching in person, either. The pace is so poor that the Tour had to reduce field size, in part because guys couldn’t finish before sunset and cuts were being made on Saturday mornings instead of Friday evenings.

This begs the question whether TGL has found something with the use of its shot clock.

Should the Tour implement a similar strategy to get players moving quicker?

The case for shot clocks in pro golf

There is, technically, already a “rule” for how much time golfers have to play a shot.

“It is recommended that the player make the stroke in no more than 40 seconds after they are (or should be) able to play without interference or distraction,” according to rule 5.6b in the USGA Rules of Golf.

Based on that recommendation, golfers can be “put on the clock” if their group falls behind pace.

That rarely happens, however. And players almost never receive a penalty for a bad time.

The last instance of a Tour player receiving a slow-play penalty was John Catlin in 2021. Prior to that, it was at the Zurich Classic, a team event, in 2017. Glen Day was given a penalty in 1995. We’re talking once a decade or so. You have to search hard to find a rules official bold enough to dole out a penalty.

There have been fines handed out—but Tour players aren’t too concerned given how shaving one stroke from their score can easily make up for that fine. And pace of play hasn’t improved without real fear that the numbers on their scorecards will be affected.

Guys are playing for so much money that a slap on the wrist isn’t going to help.

“Honestly, I would start stroking guys,” Brooks Koepka said in 2023. “If you are going to take that long, you have to get stroked.”

It’s the only way to speed things up.

While some argue pace-of-play changes would cut off only a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes per round—and that difference wouldn’t be worth any strife involved—the Tour is also desperate to regain viewers as TV ratings have plummeted.

Imagine the intrigue as players come down the stretch of a big tournament and a shot clock is ticking down. Imagine it’s windy and a big decision has to be made as the clock is inside 10 seconds.

Imagine every player having to play every shot within 40 seconds of the time that it is their turn.

Considering that some guys take more than two minutes to hit a shot, the change of atmosphere would be dramatic.

Every other sport has some time constraints. A part of the skill of the game is being able to make decisions and execute within that time frame.

If quarterbacks had two minutes to figure out the defense, football would be fundamentally changed. If would be easier to detect what coverage a defense is playing. Procedural penalties like delay of game would never happen. It would negatively change the chemistry of how the game works.

Look at baseball. Since introducing a pitch clock, the number of 3 1/2-hour games has gone from 391 in 2021 to seven in 2024. Games are down 27 minutes on average. Playoff baseball last year had a five-percent increase in TV ratings and viewership for the season as a whole was up 11 percent.

Tennis is also among the games to get quicker by implementing a shot clock.

People like fast! Golf getting faster would be more interesting to watch … and it would be less of a time commitment for viewers.

The purists will cringe but professional golf needs to get more entertaining to attract viewers. It’s a big shake-up—but it’s also just enforcing a rule that already exists.

Golfers will adapt and I highly doubt anyone would suffer too much from it.

The case against shot clocks in golf

You didn’t think it would be that easy, did you?

Philosophically, shot clocks make a lot of sense.

Practically, there are a few issues that make shot clocks unlikely.

First, we run into the same issue we had with the signing of the scorecard dilemma. Every player has to be competing under the same rules—whether that is the first group on Thursday at the Barracuda Championship or the final pairing on Sunday at the Masters.

Would there be a rules official with every group for every tournament?

Currently, a normal Tour event has somewhere around nine to 12 officials. There would need to be way more officials on site for a shot clock system to work.

Any “official scorer” roles where a volunteer or someone else times each player would not be feasible. There can’t be random, unpaid people deciding when to start the clock—and only about half of all golf shots are televised during most events so replays wouldn’t be reliable.

Another issue: Other sports have visible shot clocks the players can see which is kind of important. So how would a golfer see a shot clock?

You would need a rules official riding with every single group, timing every single player—and the clock would have to be visible for each shot.

It’s doable if the Tour really wanted to do it but it would be an investment and a major culture shift. The Tour is not exactly known for being innovative.

There are other problems like how timing would be kept when there is a ruling. Would players get timeouts or extensions?

Beyond infrastructure issues—which could theoretically be addressed by training and paying more officials—perhaps the best argument against shot clocks is that pro golf tours could just … enforce the rules?

The Tour could identify slow groups, like it already does, and be stricter with assessing penalties. Just that fear would speed up the game.

However, the entertaining element of a shot clock is that fans can see it. There would be drama to whether a golfer gets a shot off in time. You don’t really get that with a rules official holding a stop watch.

The European Tour tried a “Shot Clock Masters” event in 2018 where rules officials rode in carts with large screens showing the time remaining. Each player was given two time extensions per round. Pace of play fell about 30 minutes and scores were actually lower than usual. There were only four penalties given out the whole tournament as players were on their best behavior.

Unfortunately the sponsor for that event didn’t sign on again and the European Tour never revisited the concept. The man behind it was then-CEO Keith Pelley—known for radical ideas—who now is out of the golf industry.

Nobody has had the cojones or desire to try it since then—until TGL came around.

We can dare to dream

Sports adapt. If golf keeps going down a path where fewer and fewer fans are paying attention, it might be time for drastic measures.

Perhaps some will laugh at the possibility of a shot clock in a game like golf—but it’s not as farfetched as you might think.

As far as I’m concerned, everything is on the table for making the game of golf more enjoyable as a TV product. Golf broadcasts do have the luxury of switching from player to player when rounds are slow but viewers are still affected by the pace from an overall time investment standpoint.

Even shaving 30 minutes off a round would be significantly beneficial for the product. And the drama around players trying to beat a shot clock would be entertaining in and of itself.

What do you think? Would a shot clock help professional golf? Let me know below in the comments.

      This is about regular players, not pros. Get over the obsession with speed. Golf originally was a game of leisure. Obviously there are things that every golfer should do – ready golf, limit time over ball, watch where the ball goes, limit time lining up putt, don’t dawdle, etc. These are common courtesy. Requiring everyone to finish in, for example, in 3 hr 50 min for 4 players is too fast for many and takes the joy out of golf (I am griping about my club!).

      I am not a fan of slow play. Take a look at Bernhard Langer who has been fined twice for slow play.
      I remember John Daly & Mark Calcavecia (I hope I spelt his name right) being fined for ‘fast play’ taking 2 hours 35 minutes to play 18 holes. If these 2 are fined for playing that quickly may be a fine as well for playing slow.
      I could be wrong for saying that a ‘fine’ will cure slow play.
      I look forward to see what everyone thinks of players being fined as well as a shot or a 2 shot penalty as well
      Happy golfing

      What this proves is that it’s not that players are slow it’s the interminably long discussions with caddies that makes golf slow. If the caddies are that good at decision making and the players that bad then the caddies would be playing. I say ban conversations with caddies and see how good the players really are on their own.

      No, it’s not that it needs a shot clock –
      all they have to do is make it a RULE on the Tour, the League, like any sports leagues have RULES –
      taking the weather and the moment into consideration, each day should get a SET TIME for the ROUND – so if an average round they expect to be played in 4 hours and 25 minutes – then SET that time – and any groups who finish beyond that time, regardless of whether there were penalty consultation time involved, get PENALISE IN DOLLAR AMOUNTS PER MINUTE. Simples!!!!
      Also – quit allowing players to take off their clothes down to their skivvies to hit a water shot – at ALL Golf Courses, whether they are private or public, pretty much mandate a PROPER GOLF ATTIRE RULE – so why do they let players get down to their underwear to hit certain shots???? If they are no longer allowed to take off their clothes OR SHOES, they will quickly make the decision on that penalty shot and move on!!!!! Simples!!!!
      Charge all players who are beyond their allowed round time, a dollar amount per minute that they get charged, whether they make the cut or not, you will see players fall in line real quick, and see how good they really are when they have to play at normal speeds

      It’s not that it is too slow to watch the coverage of a tournament (at least not until the last few players on a Sunday…), a good producer makes replays and shots from different players interesting and with good flow to watch. The biggest issues as I see it is thatit should not be necessary to send more than 3, 5 hours to see a leaderball play from start to finish!!!
      The slow play on the PGA tour send a HORRIBLE message to all good young players. A couple of years ago I was paired with a couple of 12-year-olds in a regional championship and we took close to 6hrs to finish 18 holes!!!! On the way we had lost 2 holes after 11 or 12 holes and when I politely told their caddie fathers that they need to tech their son to play faster, the answer was “why???, a good Player needs some time to focus”. Needless to say, no penalties were handed out…and the result is higher greenfees as courses cannot get enough players around 18-holes in order to bread even. It does not look good for the future unless significant measures to change are adopted.

      One of my favorite sayings is, “I don’t mind losing but I hate to get slowed out of it”. I’ve watched many tournaments over the years where it seemed that that exactly what was happening. Sometimes it was past the point of being ridiculous. They wouldn’t even put up with that kind of crap on the LPGA(and they are pretty slow). And yes! The PGA needs a shot clock that is enforced!

      Please do something to speed up the pace of play. It has gotten so bad I only watch golf after recording it so I can fast forward through the dead time. With modern technology I am sure a way to enforce a shot clock can be figured out (heck they all have cell phones with them). Each passing year I watch less and less golf and pace of play is a major contributor to my reasoning to watch less golf.

      Yes, professional golf should definitely have a shot clock. The game will need to move faster to hold the attention of the next generation of younger fans. Even as a 50-year old fan I feel that the players are taking much too long to execute their shots, especially on the greens. No other professional sporting event takes 5+ hours to complete like the PGA events do.

      For better clarity, I’m going to re-post my idea:

      A Shot Clock? Let’s Call It “Thinking Time”

      Instead of rushing players with a shot clock, why not borrow a page from curling and chess with a “thinking time” system? Here’s the pitch:

      The Basics: Each player gets 72 minutes of total thinking time per round—about 60 seconds per shot. Need three minutes to agonize over one tricky bunker shot? Fine. But you’ll have to make up for it with faster decisions elsewhere. Balance is key!

      Time-Outs: Players get two 60-second time-outs per round. A little breathing room for those high-pressure moments.

      Penalty for Overtime: Run out of thinking time? It’s a one-stroke penalty and, to keep things moving, a stricter timeline for the rest of the round—40 seconds per shot. You snooze, you lose (a stroke, at least).

      Scoreboard Integration: Time used could be added to the walking scoreboard, so it’s easy for players, officials, and spectators to follow. Transparency is crucial.

      Split the Time: To simplify tracking, you could divvy up the thinking time for each nine holes. Smaller chunks mean less math and fewer excuses.

      Tech-Friendly Adjustments: If we’re going to expect faster play, it’s only fair to allow laser rangefinders and GPS devices. Let’s embrace the tech that makes decisions quicker.

      The whole concept needs to be crystal clear—black and white. Easy to understand, simple to track, and fair to everyone. Plus, watching players manage their time could add an extra layer of drama. Who doesn’t love a little suspense as the clock ticks down?

      You could also allow unlimited timeouts….. But each one costs you beyond 2. So you’re adding up your fines and then you subjectively see who is the slowest based upon their donation to PGA Tour charities.

      I like your concept here. However, the walking scoreboards are manned by volunteers and are manually changed numbers on said board. As someone who carries those boards, adding additional numbers would be cumbersome and would slow the timing official from getting to the next hole because the board needs to be correct for the golfer foremost as well as the fans. You would somehow need to make the scoreboards completely digital and connect to both the official walking scorer(also just a volunteer) and the rules official tasked with the timing system. So I love the concept, but I don’t know how it would be implemented where the players could accurately see it.

      I like the idea and have been thinking about this before TGL. I agree with the stated benefits of faster rounds and more enjoyable spectator viewing. Probably the most important benefit would be for weekend golfers, many of which tend to mimic the habits of their professional heros; both good and bad. For that reason, it could have an overall positive impact to recreational golf.

      I mentioned that I have been thinking about this for a while and I also see a lot of hurdles to overcome to make it practical:
      – When do you start the clock (and will all officials be the same)?
      – What happens when you need to get a ruling? Will this encourage more requests for rulings as a bid to take the clock pressure away?
      – Physically, what is the mechanism to monitor the clock? I saw the photos of the EU event in the article and that comes across as a bit gimmicky. There must be a better, more unobtrusive way for it to be successful.
      – Clock timing could be distracting from the golf game itself like resetting the clock has become in the NFL after every abnormal stoppage of play

      Hell yes, the Euro tour did it for one week, guess what SCORES WENT DOWN from the previous year, only 1 or 2 players were penalized. There is nothing worse than watching some caddie take 2 minutes to explain to a PRO golfer how to play a shot. Give each player a couple time outs for tough shots. Use local pro’s as trained volunteers, the tour staff has advance people easy to get the timers prepped the week before. Sure there may be issues, but anything to stop a 2 some taking 5 hours to play will benefit the game. The tours have consistently been afraid to use strokes as a penalty, it is time to change that.

      No, no, no. Should habitual slow pokes be penalized? Sure. But shot clocks are not the answer nor is there any way to fairly implement. Nor would the effort be worth it.
      Also, slow play is not an issue for fans. They switch cameras to guys ready to hit generally. And coming down the back 9 Sunday it’s completely justifiable to take some time analyzing things. Within reason, of course.
      Next people will want a minimum walking speed, a time limit in the portal potty, etc etc. A shot clock is a solution looking for a problem.
      And guys at your club aren’t slow because they’re emulating pros, it’s because they shoot 120 and are 80 years old and have schlep from the cart path to their ball 4 times every hole.

      Seems like the harm of trying it for 1 tournament would be low. Honestly probably a signature event given the reduced field size. When all players have reached their ball the clock starts, first person gets 1 minute, the others get 40 s or something. If you need a ruling the time stops, and you get 1 time out per round. Even if it is a disaster (which wont happen) its 1 tournament. Maybe the most watched one of the year if they advertise it. Travelers or something.

      Slow play is more complicated than a shot clock. I think players should be more responsible for adhering to the rules than constantly calling for an official for rulings as simple as dropping from a cart path. They call an official take multiple drops and then place the ball. This all makes the whole group fall behind the group in front. There is no urgency to fill the gap. Multiple discussions with caddies on all shots for all appearances are straight forward. Creeping up along and straddling the putt line. There should be a shot clock but also there needs to be other variables to be considered to keep play moving. No need to add more rules without harsh penalties. Gradually learned behaviours would change.

      These guys have hit every shot they see on a course thousands of times. Get to the ball, find the yardage, grab a club and hit the damn ball!!! Even a specialty shot shouldn’t take too long to execute. As I approach my ball, I feel the ground and wind so I pretty much know what my shot is gonna be. Only practice swing is if I’m waiting on others in my group or for the green to clear. (Seldom does a practice swing look like the real swing for almost every golfer). I find it very difficult to watch any golf on tv except the Masters.

      Use 30 seconds for Tee and non green shots. For on the green shots use 20 seconds.
      Lastly have the caddie start the clock. The clock starts as soon as the caddie gets within 10 feet of the tee or approach shot.
      See how it goes. The game we love is mimicked by recreational golfers plum bobbing and wasting a lot of time for often meaningless offline shot.

      Every caddie or player would be given a wearable device or something that can be clipped onto the golf bag or caddie bib or whatever. The wearable device – think beeper, GPS-type watch, whatever – would be sync’d with the master timer or timers in the booth, in a truck, whatever. The wearable device would beep loudly upon the expiration of the clock, signaling a one-stroke penalty. You wouldn’t need massive manpower, you’d just need innovative technology and a small increase in manpower.

      Shot clock idea is great. Make each player responsible to hit within 40 sec from arriving at their ball (another benefit for the longest hitters of the group). Self regulated with a few roaming random officials to spot check players (like random drug tests). A one stroke penalty for each time a player exceeds the time limit.

      It can’t be a shot clock, but rather “thinking time” like is curling and chess. Players should be able to utilize their time as they see fit throughout the round. They can get 2 “60 second” time-outs” per round. My thought would be about 60 second per shot. So you would have approximately 72 minutes of thinking time. You’re able to take 3 minutes on one shot. But on a few other shots, you will need to take 30 seconds to make up for that time. The time per play could be added to the walking scoreboard. Should the players run out of time, it is a 1 stroke penalty and they are then given a more strict timeline for their remaining holes. (40 seconds per shot).

      The whole concept needs to be black and white. Easy to understand for all and easy to track.

      You could also divide this time among 9’s. So it’s smaller increments of thinking time and easier for the player to keep track.

      If you did this, you will need to allow laser range finders/GPS devices as well.

      A wearable device? Caddy responsible? Speed golf? Some of these comments make me wonder what you all are smoking. It’s not complicated – a shot clock attached to a pole, carried by a tournament official. When the clock runs out, you’re penalized a stroke. The clock doesn’t have to put immense pressure on the golfer; it simply sets an expectation for all players. Imagine golfers lining up for putts six times only to end up with a bogey, delaying those behind them, just like it would on any municipal course. The purpose of a shot clock isn’t to speed things up; it’s to maintain a consistent pace. At the professional level, such measures should be implemented. Just like baseball, purists are simply resistant to change.
